SoC Platform Engineer
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Oct 8, 2026. First seen by Alion on Aug 6, 2026.
Join our team as a SoC Platform Engineer, where you will take ownership of IP integration, system-level verification, and firmware development for our custom SoC. This hands-on role will have a broad impact across the hardware development cycle, from IP bring-up through full-chip validation. You will work at the intersection of hardware and software, defining testbenches, authoring test firmware, and implementing critical SoC features in silicon.
Missions
- Ownership of IP integration, system-level verification, and firmware development for custom SoC.
- Evaluation, integration, and verification of IP blocks within the SoC, ensuring correct connectivity and interoperability.
- Definition, implementation, and maintenance of system-level testbenches covering subsystem and full SoC verification scenarios.
Profil recherché
- Firmware Development: Ability to write bare-metal C firmware for hardware bring-up, feature validation, and test automation on embedded targets- SoC Architecture: Understanding of SoC subsystem partitioning, memory maps, interrupt routing, and hardware/software interfaces
- Scripting: Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python, Tcl, Bash, and Makefiles for build flow automation and test infrastructure
- Verification Methodologies: Experience with UVM or similar structured verification methodologies
- Hardware Description Languages: Proficiency in RTL design and verification using SystemVerilog and/or VHDL
- AMBA Interconnects: Strong knowledge of AMBA protocols (AXI, AHB, APB) and their application in SoC integration
- Debugging Tools: Experience with simulation tools (e.g., VCS, Questa, Xcelium) and hardware debug environments (JTAG, logic analyzers, oscilloscopes)
- Version Control: Expertise with Git or similar version control systems
- Experience with ARM Corstone reference designs and Cortex-M or Cortex-A processor integration
- Experience with formal verification or property checking tools
- Knowledge of embedded security concepts, including cryptographic algorithms and Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC)
- Familiarity with Cortex-A and Cortex-M class processors, NPU processors, and DSP processors
- Familiarity with FPGA emulation platforms for pre-silicon validation
- Knowledge of 3GPP network protocols as they relate to SoC modem or connectivity subsystem integration
- Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
- Experience with low-power SoC design and power intent methodologies (UPF/CPF)
- Familiarity with TrustedFirmware-M, MCUboot, or PSA-certified security architectures
